MS350 WINDLASS MANUAL RETRIEVAL

[Cold Duck]

I cannot find a P/N on my Lewmar windlass on my 1997 MS350. Newer model Lewmar windlass's have manual retrieval kits that can be placed on the windlass to bring up the anchor with a wench handle if the windlass motor dies or battery/electrical somehow fails. Do any of you older MS350 owners have P/N of the Lewmar windlass used on the 350s or a manual kit for the windlass or know of a procedure to retrieve the anchor if the windlass fails? This is not a generic question but specific to the MS350/390. Yes I can use a comalong etc. I am not looking for generic answers but very specific to the windlass's used on the MS350.

These 4 posts might be helpful to you. All feature details of Lewmar Windlass-es on MS 350/390.
Ours is a 2000. I cannot speak to the 1997 models. There were quite a bit of variability in these boats, their engines, and configuration. SO, there is no certainty that EVERYONE with a MS 350 built in 1997 will have the exact same as what you have. Again, these links might help you.

What model of Lewmar windlass do you have on your 1997 Mainship 350. I have a Concept 2 with capstan on my 390, and have a handle for manual retrieval. If that’s the same I have attached photos from the owners manual that might assist you.
Good luck!
